About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Saxonwold, Johannesburg. I work with adults, children, and adolescents, and my approach is primarily psychodynamic, which means that our work together is oriented towards understanding patterns, both conscious and less conscious, that shape how you relate to yourself and to others. Where it's clinically useful, I also draw on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other evidence-based methods.

I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand and am currently completing a PhD at the same institution, researching the psychosocial experiences of Black young adults who attended elite private schools on scholarships. Until December 2025, I held an associate lecturer position in the Department of Psychology at Wits. I continue to contribute to the field through academic writing, including a recent co-authored chapter on projective assessment in Advances in Psychological Assessment in South Africa (Wits University Press, 2026), and through clinical supervision of psychology trainees.

My clinical training and public sector experience, which includes work at Helen Joseph Hospital, the Child, Adolescent and Family Unit at Charlotte Maxeke Hospital, Tambo Memorial Hospital, and the Emthonjeni Centre at Wits, gave me a firm grounding in culturally and contextually attentive practice. I work in English, SePedi, SeSotho, SeTswana, and isiZulu.

My areas of interest are as follows:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Grief/ Loss

• Trauma and PTSD

• Emotional regulation difficulties

• Behavioural difficulties in children and adolescents

• Gender, Sexuality, Identity

• Self-esteem

• Self-destructive behaviours
